[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 504716, member: 1991"] Chewing clothing - a huge issue. I refused to buy new clothes for a long time, I just bought op-shop stuff. If a shirt is going to get ruined on the first day of wearing, I'd rather it cost me 50c than $15. We tried gum, but had problems with the school. Also he would chew his clothes but with gum in his mouth, and that really made a mess! So I bought a teething ring for difficult child 3. At first he was embarrassed, he never took it to school anyway. But at home if/when he chewed his shirt, I would hang the teething ring around his neck and encourage him to chew that instead. He doesn't chew his clothes now, although he will still 'worry' at a hole and make it a lot bigger. But I noticed a few months ago, he had got his teething ring out and was chewing it while he did his schoolwork. He said it helped him stay focussed. Marg [/QUOTE]
